It's been a nagging injury. I thought he'd be back by now, but it's been problematic, ... He's working hard to get himself back, but we'll probably accelerate that a little bit. |
It's been clearly his best year, in my opinion. Not only running, not only for the obvious reasons, but the fact is he has pass protected. He has caught the ball pretty well. He's just had a great year. |
It's been my experience that players I've been around, they're kind of tired of talking to me. And I'm a little tired talking to them. The plan is let him rest, let him get ready, let him think about it without me interrupting his thoughts. |
It's fun to watch him because that's the fun part of coaching. You get a young man, and pretty soon he's believing in you and you're believing in him, and all of a sudden, it's happening. |
It's important for us to maintain some continuity. It's important for me and the team that when we step on the field anywhere, we play well. |
It's like when you play a division opponent. We don't throw away the game plans. We don't have this big burning ceremony after each game. We keep them and see if we can learn something. They do the same thing. |
It's like, OK, we're playing the game and those guys are upstairs doing whatever they are doing, |
It's my time. I've been at it for a while. The time that I would have to give to it this year, I want to spend it with my wife. |
It's nice to stand up here and be able to talk about a victory. I thought it was a great effort by our team because we had a little adversity with injury and the guys stepped up and played. |
It's normal. From what they're telling me, it's normal. |
It's not necessary to go down there and hang out down there, ... This wasn't an isolated incident in that neck of the woods. |
It's OK to continue to pray for Kenny and get ready for a football game. You can do that, ... But we try to compartmentalize it a little bit in our meetings: 'OK, this is what happened, and this is where he is. He's going to be better, so let's go.' |
It's one of those things that shouldn't have happened. |
It's pretty typical now that guys do that. He just wants to make sure that guy down there sees the same thing we're seeing. |
It's probably something we're going to have to baby a bit all year, |
